He must immediately apologize to the Marines

Ouch.
Mr. Murtha claims he received his information from sources inside the Pentagon, which is conducting an investigation into the Nov. 15 incident in the town of Haditha. That investigation is not yet completed, which makes Mr. Murtha’s accusation not only irresponsible, but an egregious violation of ethical conduct by a sitting congressman.
Mr. Murtha concedes that he has not read any part of the Pentagon’s unfinished report. All he has are his “sources.” But if Mr. Murtha thinks he can hide behind them, he has severely underestimated the seriousness of his accusation. By turning the presumption of innocence standard on its head, Mr. Murtha is duty-bound to name his sources or provide evidence. Otherwise, he must immediately apologize to the Marines he so recklessly labeled as cold-blooded murderers.
We’re waiting Mr. Murtha.
